[client] Enable UI autostart for silent and MSI installs (#6026)

* fix(client): enable UI autostart for silent and MSI installs

The MSI installer had no autostart logic and the EXE silent installer
skipped the autostart page, leaving the registry entry unwritten. This
caused the NetBird UI tray to not start at login after RMM deployments.

Add an AUTOSTART property (default: 1) to the MSI that writes the
HKLM Run key, and initialize AutostartEnabled in the NSIS .onInit so
silent installs match the interactive default.

* add real guid for NetBirdAutoStart component
